P.S. It's funny (pecular) that you asked about the point of
Ghostworld and
then made a comment about people not having enough time to learn
Shaw, because of the Real Stuff that is more important(i.e. family
obligations, homework, Jobs, Real Day to Day Life)
Because the story Ghostworld is all about 2 girls growing up, close
friends who face the same dilemma as you referred to.
One girl opts for conformity. The other (female version of David
Letterman) refuses to be political correct, refuses to moderate her
sarcastic derision of modern hypocracy and eventually goes off to
her own world. Symbolically, she re-creates her own world.
It's quite funny (humorous).
	Interesting interpretation.  I saw Ghost World by accident almost.  
During one of Paris' week of 1 euro movies I went to a bunch of films 
back-to-back and it so happened that Ghost World fit into one of my 
timeslots.  I had never heard of it, but decided to watch.  I did not 
really enjoy the movie because of the character Enid.  However, if you 
are saying that her non-conformity is how the movie relates to Shavian, 
I would be a little scared because I would not normally like to 
consider myself to be as dysfunctional as Enid.
